The place use to be ok, but now it sucks Chorizo, as do most of the "mainstream" Mesican food restaraunts in the Valley. Look, if your Chile Relleno comes out of a can and is not real, as in with a stem still on it and blister roasted ... you got robbed of your money.

And old "Haps" went "upscale" so that is another good place gone Yuppie ... you use to be able to have a simple meal and beer, then on weekends they'd push the tables out of the way and bring a local Country band to play and if people wanted to dance, you could ... now I get the feel that the place is meant for money makers.

The whole town is going Botique and gated community ... bike riders in their Euro-Fashion bike gear ... there was a time when it was more real.

Please, please "Past Time Pool" don't sell out !

albertos is only good for drinks, or some drunk food. without something to make you think it taste better, nothing special. the taco truck that stops off vineyard has better food.

What do bikes have to do with the quality of food in Pleasanton?

Yuppies on un-mufflered Harleys have a big effect on dining in downtown Pleasanton. I'd heard the police were getting serious about enforcement, but I gather they've slacked off. I wish they'd ticket them. Modified mufflers are ILLEGAL, pure and simple.

I agree, Alberto's hasn't been good in a couple of years. El Molino, on Hopyard right by the freeway, is good. It's hidden, whay behind the BK, but worth it. Not very fancy, though.

Cheers!
